Light Machine Gun

Light Machine Guns (LMGs) are support weapons, which can be moderately accurate if specific attachments and tactics are employed. Firing in bursts allows them to engage longer range targets, and using their full auto function converts them into man-portable turrets. As LMGs have greater stopping power and a larger ammo supply than assault rifles, an LMG with a foregrip and reflex sight can be used in place of the latter. Light machine guns are also great for all levels; plentiful ammunition and forgiving handling characteristics allow beginners to learn the ropes, and more experienced players can use them to pin down entire enemy squads. Light Machine Guns are also helpful in an 'Alamo' situation (in which enemies are closing in, and no Resupply Points are nearby) thanks to their nearly bottomless magazines.

The Light Machine Guns are more stable than the medium machine guns with less stopping power but a higher rate of fire and accuracy along with slightly increased stability. Many soldiers prefer this tier because of this, although the extra power of the medium machine gun is significant.
